  • the present invention relates to a curtain airbag device for a vehicle that inflates and deploys along a side surface in a vehicle compartment for the purpose of protecting an occupant during a vehicle side collision or rollover (rollover).
  • the curtain airbag is installed above the door and inflates and deploys along the side of the vehicle to absorb the load from the head and upper body of the occupant.
  • Curtain airbags are primarily designed to protect (restrain) occupants during side collisions.
  • a curtain airbag has a longer pressure duration when inflated and deployed than a front airbag or the like. This is because the side collision may cause rollover (rollover), and the time during which an impact may occur is long. In particular, at the time of rollover, there is an increased risk that the occupant will be released from the side window outside the vehicle. Therefore, the curtain airbag maintains the inflated state until the rollover, thereby restraining the occupant and preventing release from the vehicle.
  • the curtain airbag is required to be surely inflated and deployed on the side surface of the vehicle in order to absorb the load from the occupant and prevent the vehicle from being released outside the vehicle.
  • the “head protection airbag device” described in Patent Document 1 provides a head protection airbag device capable of generating high tension along the vehicle front-rear direction on the lower edge side of the airbag when deployment and inflation are completed.
  • an inflating gas is introduced to complete the deployment and inflation, the inflating portions partitioned by the partitioning portions in the inflating shielding portions cause the inflating and shielding portions themselves to move in the front-rear direction. Tension is generated.
  • the respective expansion shielding portions are connected to each other on the lower edge side of the airbag by an expansion communication portion at a position below the plate-like portion that does not allow the inflation gas to flow.
  • the expansion communication portion is disposed in the front-rear direction along the lower edge of the airbag, and the expansion shield portions can be connected to each other without lowering the tension generated in the expansion shield portions. Overall, a high tension along the front-rear direction can be generated.

  • the rear pillar 110 is a portion that protrudes to the vehicle inner side than the side window 114b (see FIG. 7). *
  • the rear strap 330 is stitched to a region outside the airbag 300 and in front of the rear end of the rear chamber 120c. As illustrated in FIG. 6, in the airbag 300, the rear strap 330 is sewn to a seam portion 332 that divides the rear chamber 120c from the adjacent central chamber, that is, the main chamber 120a. *
  • FIG. 7 is a view illustrating the curtain airbag of FIG. 6 after being inflated and deployed in the vehicle.
  • FIG. 7 corresponds to FIG.
  • the rear strap 330 of the modified example is configured in the same manner as the front strap 130 and exhibits the same function. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 7, after the airbag 300 is inflated and deployed, the rear strap 330 is applied with a tension from the airbag 300 and becomes substantially linear. Then, at least a region of the rear chamber 120c that overlaps with the rear strap 330 is further away from the side window 114b toward the vehicle interior side, and is inflated and deployed further toward the vehicle interior side. *
  • the rear strap 330 acts in the same manner as the front strap 130, whereby the distance between the rear chamber 120c and the occupant is reduced on the rear side of the rear seat space, and the occupant quickly contacts the rear chamber 120c.
  • the rear chamber 120c by disposing the rear chamber 120c at a position close to the occupant, it is possible to reduce the amount of movement of the occupant from the seating position when receiving an impact. Therefore, when the rollover occurs, it is possible to improve the out-of-vehicle release prevention performance for the occupant of the rear seat 118.
  • the rear strap 330 is disposed obliquely along the height direction of the vehicle as described above, thereby allowing the movement of the rear chamber 120c that catches the occupant to a position where the rear strap 330 becomes horizontal. And it can regulate in the horizontal position, and it can ensure the passenger's discharge prevention performance outside a vehicle appropriately, improving the cushion nature of air bag 100.
  • the curtain air bag device for a vehicle according to the present invention is applied to an automobile.
  • the present invention can be applied to an aircraft, a ship, and the like in addition to an automobile, Obtainable.
  • the present invention can be used for a curtain airbag that inflates and deploys along a side surface in a vehicle compartment for the purpose of protecting an occupant during a vehicle side collision or rollover (rollover).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'airbag rideau pour un véhicule, le dispositif d'airbag rideau étant conçu de sorte que l'aptitude du dispositif d'airbag à empêcher qu'un passager du véhicule ne soit projeté à l'extérieur du véhicule au niveau d'une extrémité longitudinale de celui-ci est considérablement améliorée et de sorte que le dispositif d'airbag rideau présente une excellente fonction d'absorption des chocs (propriétés d'amortissement) que reçoit un passager à l'intérieur du véhicule. Une section de joint (132) sépare une chambre avant (120b), qui est située au niveau d'une extrémité longitudinale d'un véhicule, d'une chambre principale (120a) adjacente à la chambre avant (120b), et une sangle avant (130) s'étendant le long de la surface externe de la chambre avant et raccordant la section de joint à une colonne avant située au niveau de l'extrémité longitudinale du véhicule est disposée entre la section de joint (132) et la colonne avant. La position verticale de la première section de liaison (P) entre la colonne avant et la sangle avant est déterminée de manière à être supérieure à la position verticale de la seconde section de liaison (Q) entre la section de joint et la sangle avant. La longueur de la sangle avant est déterminée de manière à être inférieure à la distance entre la première section de liaison et la position vers laquelle la seconde section de liaison se déplace en raison du gonflage et de la dilatation lorsque la sangle avant n'est pas fournie, et la sangle avant est étirée de façon sensiblement rectiligne entre les première et seconde sections de liaison par la chambre avant gonflée et dilatée.
